Curricular offerings are designed to enable highly motivated students with diverse musical backgrounds to become skilled musicians capable of making artistic musical contributions to society as performers, educators, composers, scholars, music-business professionals, and active supporters and appreciators of music.<\/p>\n<p>The Music Program is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. The faculty is dedicated to promoting a positive, student-centered environment in which students-by performance, creative activity, research, scholarship, and teaching opportunities-develop the skills, independence of thought, and discipline to fulfill their musical aspirations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"heavy-man dig-4\">The Outcomes of the Music Program:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"pop-4\">\n<li>Know the theory, history, and repertory in the major area of study.<\/li>\n<li>Identify how specific technologies serve the student\u2019s chosen field of music.<\/li>\n<li>Know the nature of professional work in music, including career development skills, teaching skills, and concert attendance.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate mastery of the core fundamentals, processes, elements, form, structures and styles of music.<\/li>\n<li>Perform a cross-section of the repertory in the major area of study.<\/li>\n<li>Collaborate on matters of musical interpretation including rehearsal and conducting skills.<\/li>\n<li>Perform individually and in ensembles with technical skills that produce artistic expression.<\/li>\n<li>Synthesize musical learning by actively thinking, speaking, and writing clearly and effectively about musical ideas and defending their views.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:28px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:28px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-2hvp4-35059822b32d1b2ef65c5030e4d564a5 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Musical Organizations<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2gajts-bc110df579c10acbd4728cd617e7bb54 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>All 91²Ö¿âMusic ensembles are open to students of any major.
